Q-Summit

What is the Q-Summit? Why have it?

The Q-Summit is a gathering of queer youth (17-25) leaders across the south for a day of movement-building, skill-sharing, and best-practices development. We recognize that LGBTQ youth are doing meaningful work across our region to build strong, resilient communities. We’re convening this space for queer activists to gather in a central location and strategize around the future of their movement(s).

The Q-Summit is open to youth (17-25) from the south who are engaged in LGBTQ work or are interested in connecting to ongoing efforts in their area. While any and everyone are welcome to attend, we’re especially interested in centering the voices of LGBTQ youth. For that reason, no one over the age of 25 will be accepted to speak or lead sessions. We are also especially interested in amplifying the experiences of LGBTQ people of color and trans* voices.
